Christina is NOT a dramatic skater. The intense music of "Angels and Demons" just doesn't cut it for her. Her tango last season left me with the same impression -- that she was struggling to fit herself into a box that she didn't belong in. She isn't particularly fast across the ice, so she needs a lyrical piece that will accentuate the lovely lines and extensions that she's capable of producing. But, then again, maybe I'll change my mind after seeing her at SC.
I feel exactly the opposite. A lyrical program on Christina would be boring and give her no chance to stand out from the rest of the ladies. I understand what you are saying about her lines and extension, but IMO it's even harder to pull off lyrical for skaters and not come across as boring. Even skaters like Alissa and Mirai have to skate very well to sell their lyrical programs, and I don't see Christina as their equal if all skate their best. I like her program and think with practice she can present it better as the season unfolds.
